Over 130 miles long and 12 miles wide, the baron desert and rocky ridge landscape of Death Valley sits on the east side of the Sierra Mountains. Funeral Mountains, Coffin Peak, Hell’s Gate, Starvation Canyon and Dead Man Pass are just some of the illuminating features of Death Valley National Park. Named to reflect the troubles and misfortunes of the pioneers who mined, travelled and lived in the area during the end of the last century, today the haunting names contradict this place of exquisite beauty. See the colourful rocks, a diverse range of wildlife and relics from a hundred and fifty year history that gives an insight into the harsh life of the early settlers.

Top Tip 1

Everyone should drive Highway 1 - the Pacific Coast Highway, but our tip is to do it from north to south. Whichever direction you take the scenery is stunning but you get a better view going south because you're on the ocean side of the road.

Top Tip 2

Hearst Castle is a must-see stop as you drive along the coast, taking you back to the early days of Hollywood.

Top Tip 3

Wine tasting tours are plentiful in Napa and Sonoma. Our favourites are Jordan's and Chalk Hill. Try the Library Tasting tour, a wine and cheese pairing at Jordan's and the Culinary Tour at Chalk Hill, a wine and food pairing prepared by Chef Didier. Both are exceptional experiences and amazing value.

Top Tip 4

Visit the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. On Thursdays, from 6pm, enjoy music, cocktails and entertainment whist experiencing world class exhibits and star gazing on the living roof.

Top Tip 5

San Francisco - where do you start? Visit North Beach for the cafe culture, take a tour to Alcatraz (we recommend you pre-book it), see Lombard Street, cycle across the Golden Gate Bridge, take a sightseeing tour of the city on a fire engine, shop in Union Square.

Top Tip 6

For spectacular scenery, and to escape from the desert heat, take a ride on the Palm Spring Aerial Tramway. If you're in downtown Palm Springs on Thursdays, you'll enjoy VillageFest, offering live entertainment and an array of stalls selling food and gifts.

Top Tip 7

Yosemite National Park is one of California's great natural wonders. Stay for a couple of nights and include a guided horseback ride for a tour with a difference.

Top Tip 8

Follow the scenic 17-Mile Drive coastal route between Pebble Beach and Pacific Grove for stunning views of the Monterey Peninsula. There's a small fee to drive this route but it's worth it.

Top Tip 9

Rent a bike or rollerblades and enjoy people watching along the boardwalk at Santa Monica and Venice Beach.

Top Tip 10

When visiting Universal Studios Hollywood, book the VIP ticket which allows you to jump the queues and includes behind-the-scenes access.
